Re: [RC] that beautiful dressage test - Jody Rogers-Buttram

Have to jump in here:
 
  I have seen/and owned horses that will wring the tail when being cued.  Obviously, this horse is on the receiving end of many well executed cues.  That may be what is causing the tail action.  JMHO.

PS.  I also (out of a lot of work and dumb luck) taught my old endurance horse to do that "skipping", he would do a flying lead change every other stride.  This horse is doing it every stride.

Good eyes, Anna.  I noticed the tail-wringing and thought I remembered that it was a sign of discomfort but I wasn't able to put it together with any particular leg.

That was an absolutely lovely test.  I also noticed the tailwringing, and that is much more pronounced when the right hind is engaged ? right lead canter, changing leads, or extremely engaged trot or passage.  I?m wondering if she might not be a bit uncomfortable in the right hindquarters, back or loin.  That might explain the onesidedness of it.  But she is not lame, and it is truly magnificent!
